ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns an assembly comprising: a rear damping implant (10), configured to be laterally placed at the blade-spinal junction of two vertebrae (2, 3) treated without resection of the supra-spinal rear ligament (5), said implant (10) having a height such that, when set in place, it enables, to reset the supra-spinal rear ligament in anatomical tension; and at least a damping interbody implant (11), configured to be inserted between the vertebral end-plates of the two treated vertebrae (2, 3), by the same path used during dissectomy, said implant (11) having a height such that, when set in place, it enables to restore the anatomical height of the intervertebral disc (4) and to reset the front common ligament in anatomical tension.
